Watched Derren Brown - Svengali, last night on the telly.
The guy who was possessed by the doll has
got to be a stooge.
I'll buy into the fact that certain things are possible with the right physical routines accompanied by the correct sugestion can have bizare and amazing effects. There's a trick i've done for years (many of you may have done the same thing with your friends) where 4 people lift a person using only two fingers each. I've performed that "trick" for approx 17 years, and I still can't claim to know how it's done, just that it works when the routine and verbal instructions are stricly adhered too.
But to have the dude "possessed" and to copy the doll even when he can't see the doll and has no way of knowing what the doll is doing?
I'd love to believe it wasn't a set up, but I can't think for the life of me how he could do that without the person being possessed in on the act.
That said, I think he's a fantastic and entertaining showman.
I think he'd be worth seeing live
